    Not much for the England supporters to shout about today. They'd probably be drowned out even if there was. Stokes the latest to fall, struggling to put away Hasan, as did Root earlier.

  2. Eng 105-5published at 15 overs

    So Hasan, who runs in very stiffly and bowls with a very compact action, has just delivered another breakthrough for Pakistan then. As I said earlier, it was a medium pace ball, and didn't really trouble Stokes for bounce. But some good field placement did the trick.

    Into the last five overs, and England might struggle to make par.

    Brilliant Pakistan. They dug it in to Stokes as he came down the wicket. He connected but not well enough. The problem for England is that everytime they have gone over the top it has gone straight to a fielder. Good positioning.

    Stokes c Babar b Hasan 4 (Eng 104-5)

    Oh no! Another ball there to be hit but which results in a wicket. Stokes tries to rock back a bit and heave Hasan over mid-wicket. It looks good for about half a millisecond but Stokes soon realises he doesn't have enough and a jubilant Babar takes a simple catch in the deep. All the Pakistan players converge in full delight, and the fans go ballistic.

    Dom Ford: Amazing watching Pakistan, players are so dedicated and the fans are on another level! Been a pleasure to watch this summer!  

    Scott Hunt: England have looked manic. Roy was angry, Root like a headless chicken from ball one. Atmosphere getting to them?  

  6. Eng 100-4published at 14 overs

    A man like Wahab I always expect to bowl some rocket pace, but his finger placement allows him a different tactic of making the ball wobble a bit. But this is T20, so anything goes. He proves as much by getting a slower one to Morgan as well. Ben Stokes is the new man by the way as the evening well and truly descends upon us.

    Very good from Pakistan. They have bogged Buttler down. It was full and wide and he slashed it out to deep cover. You would think the chances of England going nuclear now have disappeared with Buttler.

    WICKETpublished at 19:31 British Summer Time 7 September 2016

    Buttler c sub (Amad Butt) b Wahab 16 (Eng 93-4)

    That's unfortunate from Buttler, who slashed at a short and wide ball from Wahab, but it flies straight into the hands of the substitute Butt at the point boundary. Another England batsman walks off shaking his head. That ball was there to be hit, and deserved to bring at least four. 

  9. Eng 93-3published at 13 overs

    A few nerves? Morgan and Buttler have to really put their go-faster stripes on for a single. The skipper makes his ground at the non-striker's end as Sarfraz's throw goes well wide. But that is a great over from Hasan Ali who gives away just four. Normally, you'd expect top international teams to have crossed the 100-mark by now.

    Imad Wasim's spell of 2-17 is the joint-third best spell by a left-arm spinner in a T20 international against England. Ravi Jadeja and Garey Mathurin are the two above him. Graeme Swann was the England captain on both those occasions.

    If you want a sense of how devastating it was, have a look at his dismissals of Roy and Hales here below.

    There are green parties going on all over OT. To my left, in the huge temporary stand, Pakistan fans are throwing anything they can lay their hands on in the air. To the right, it's flag-waving. Underneath the old press box there's dancing under white parasols.

  12. Eng 89-3published at 12 overs

    Appeal from Wahab as Buttler steps outside the off stump and tries to scoop it but misses. Shouts for caught behind but umpire's not interested and instead gives it as a bouncer for the over. The crowd sound a bit quieter, which is a relative term of course. Morgan and Buttler doing their best to keep the scoreboard ticking as the skipper nicely guides Wahab down to third man for a double.

    England are still in a very good position. They can easily get 100 off the last eight or nine overs. They have the strength in depth in their batting.

  14. Eng 84-3published at 11 overs

    As we started the very first over, the first after the turn is a relatively slow one - no boundary shots. Imad Wasim will not mind, having given away just 15 so far in his four overs with two wickets to boot. It's almost as if getting hit on the head has somehow given him new powers. 

    Also known as the strangest superhero origin story.

    Stoney: That shot from Hales was more suited to a No. 11 on the village green. A disgusting swipe and another disappointing dismissal.

    Alex Haworth: Ugly shot from Joe Root.

    Cheers Phil. With more shouting and cheering than an iPhone launch, we have entered the second half of this first innings. Take a deep breath because England will start launching it soon I reckon.

  17. Eng 77-3published at 10 overs

    Hello Jos Buttler. What a first shot that is! He takes a step and a half and punches a beautiful drive for four. He then whips Hasan's last ball for another boundary. Ominous start from the big man.

    Two Ashes great from England past, Hoggy and Gilo, are in the crowd, enjoying a beer. Can't fault them.

    Here's Bibhash Dash to guide you through the rest of the England innings and beyond.

    It's like a mass wedding. Everything that the crowd can get their hands on is being thrown in the air.

    Very good bit of bowling. Third man was back. Root tried that ramp sort of shot. Did he not realise third man was back?

  20. wicket

    Root c Shoaib b Hasan 6 (Eng 67-3)

    Two in two. Root flicks at a short ball from Hasan, trying to steer it away and over third man but he succeeds only in sending it spinning to Shoaib Malik, who takes the catch. Pakistan on top.
